continues his bit at a high court in london to fight extradition to sweden he is wanted there for questioning over sexual assault allegations but his supporters fear sweden will be only a staging post to the u.s. . well the estimated two million drug addicts in russia many question whether there is a way out of the narcotics labyrinths next arena talks to the head of russia's federal drug control service even off to see how the problem is being tackled. the problem of drugs and drug trafficking seems to not go anywhere no matter how much we fight it and today we're meeting with the head of russia's federal drug service. to talk about the details of his fight and the problems that. and trying to find drugs on the global scale. thank you very much for joining us

today according to officials there more than seven thousand people have died in russia from drug related causes since the beginning of the year at the same time there are others who are. actually more than one hundred thousand and that is actually her why is there such a huge difference in the numbers. you see the figure of seven thousand. people who actually died from poisoning that is they took such huge doses that their organs failed and most drug users however died from overdosing you know how to measure did those is the reason for most drug related deaths is internal organ failure due to regular consumption after. russia is in the third place in the world when it comes to drug consumption do you think it's time for russia to implement some sort of very stringent punishments for drug use. or life term in prison.

we have proposed a bill to distinguish between levels of crime which is held by the government individuals selling large quantities of drugs will be in for more severe punishment all the way up to a life sentence for people not involved in large drug related crimes will consider alternative action which may mean offering them the option of taking a therapy course instead of punishment. according to. heroin that ends up in russia is being apprehended by. what is the problem why do we. why do we stop. drug users. these figures are in fact common for the whole world i mean police all over the world be it europe or america only managed to confiscate around ten percent of illegally traded drugs within their countries another thing is the extremely low efficiency of our

borders and their administrative and legal methods lead to the fact that only north point two percent of all drugs are intercepted the borders drugs that get into russia first have to go through the states of central asia where they're not intercepted and those states themselves above all of victims of afghanistan's enormous drug production. as a matter of fact afghanistan itself is the victim of global drug method of work which creates the demand and the political will to continue production in the country this is why countries next to afghanistan have the greatest density of drug flow. simply because they are closer to the epicenter further away the drug flows into lots of different channels and then drugs get to russia for example through the seven thousand kilometer border with gaza. from europe. over eighty percent of all synthetic substances that are illegally traded in russia originate in europe mostly the netherlands where most amphetamine based drugs

a manufactured with poland the baltic states germany bug area and many other countries with underground drug labs some cells are small but there are many of them and the substances they produce find their way to rush of through the various channels speaking of the amounts that we intercept and confiscate it's nearly half a ton of synthetic substances every year mostly these are net amphetamine. ecstasy and other similar drugs. but also their parents as well. well you know testing people on mass would be far too radical no of course not we're talking about establishing an early warning system to detect drug addicts and abusers after all people are not born addicted to drugs it all starts with experimenting mostly in teenage years when kids start spending more time on the streets away from their parents that's when they get to know drugs this needs to be detected at an early stage and if parents are warned in advance

sometimes it just takes parental action and advice to put an end to these dangerous practices if not stopped in time these experiments later lead to regular consumption which in turn requires longer and more costly treatment. and voluntarily. no we're not talking about force treatment here any forcing of treatment is a violation of the person so it's important the drug users make this decision for themselves in our country drug abuse is subject to administrative liability and punishment by paying a fine on average six hundred rubles punished and then they're released so our society seems to the drug users will somehow realize that they require treatment for this addiction. but they won't because their mind is blurred by chemical and jackson of psychoactive substances. therefore a legal system should be created to push them towards having treatment and as i've

said this is what we call alternative responsibility by the way this is also recommended in the united nations and drugs conventions according to. drugs has essentially been lost or to agree with that. i have to say that we rejected this kind of conclusion so did my colleagues in the u.s. russia presidential commission mr gil kerlikowske harsh statement we discussed it immediately with washington over the hotline and criticized the global commission for legalizing drugs is a road to nowhere more than that it will result in the growth of drug abuse. and you have a referendum on legalizing marijuana in california in september last year i was there when it was held where we decided with mr gil kerlikowske there's a number of meetings with officials including the man the sheriff the chief of police the prosecutor all the respectable professions a clear position against legalizing marijuana and the referendum confirms that it

should not be legalized. why would you. find the. drug. as the third drug california. but i have explicit information from the u.s. presidential administration that this financier had largely funded the campaign. in europe. in the world what point. yes certainly this example of the global commission reminds me of a global p.r. campaign by drawing so much attention but even a respectable agency like the b.b.c. covered the fact this belongs to the u.n. i mean even serious agencies were confused therefore there are many reasons to believe that this drug lobby had funded the campaign moreover i want to indicate that we've been. nothing at various international platforms on may the tenth i

spoke at the g eight conference in paris and so did many of my colleagues we said that unfortunately our fight against drugs both local and regional levels because the global level stays even beyond our understanding this concept hasn't been developed yet but it is context i want to know that the former under secretary general of the united nations antonio costa who was responsible for the drug problem mentioned that in two thousand and eight to two thousand and nine in the midst of the global financial crisis. three hundred fifty two billion u.s. dollars from selling drugs were pumped into the world's leading banks this means that a certain global level determines all sets the demand for drugs turnover and ultimately a political order for this production. as far as the withdrawal from afghanistan is concerned the picture is unclear so

far it was said that the withdrawal would start and certain parameters for it had been set a bench and thirty thousand troops by the end of the year but when i was in washington last september they were talking about the need to increase the military contingent in afghanistan exactly by thirty thousand now they're planning to return least thirty cells and so in fact nothing has changed i think of the world community and you can't disagree he's beginning to consider the situation in afghanistan because there were several reasons behind the decision to launch a military operation and the decision of the world community to interfere in eternal affairs of this for country first to put an end to the taliban rule to set up an interim administration and hold free elections. these tasks were supposed to be in six or twelve months but this september we'll see the tenth anniversary of that interference it's longer than world war two the situation in afghanistan hasn't improved it's become even worse and even senior officials like general

petraeus for example the military operation in afghanistan says that the number of armed clashes there increases year after year in fact the number of armed clashes over the past ten years has increased more than a hundred times so have the assigned tasks been achieved we see that security in afghanistan has only got worse because it said that drug production cannot be fought because it damages the security situation in the country so it's a kind of closed circle in this respect it would be worthwhile to know a nato operation in helmand province which produced. the most opium poppies the operation was called mashed iraq which translated from persian means to get. the operation was presented as a brilliant military success considerable kilometers and hectares of the province were reportedly cleared of insurgents but the production of opium has never stopped . that's why a peaceful settlement is necessary we've started talking about this at long last it was highlighted at the london conference on afghanistan in two thousand and ten the

autumn conference in kabul also stressed the need to find a peaceful settlement with the latest initiatives voiced by the us president barack obama on negotiations with the taliban and the latest resolutions of the united nations security council which divided responsibility between the taliban and al qaeda are offering a unique opportunity in my view to drop a program of eliminating drug production i've just come from meeting of the parliamentary faction of the progressive alliance of socialists and democrats the second largest faction in the european union here outside the european parliament building we discussed the e.u. strategy towards afghanistan large sections of that strategy are devoted to liquidation of drugs production values trade agreement is very well with a russian drafted plan called ready to liquidate the production of drugs in afghanistan in fact the direction that russia and the european union are taking fit together very well so today we have a unique opportunity for resolution and decisive action.

thank you very much. thank you very much.
